Gulf Medical College - Ajman, UAE

[drewshaker]

Hey guys,
I was looking at this school called the Gulf Medical college in Ajman, UAE; about 10 miles northeast of Dubai. I don't know if any of you have been to UAE but it is a very modern and rich country.

Anyway, I was looking at their medical school called GMC (Gulf Medical Colelge). The instruction is in English and it looks really cool but it's kinda expensive. Does anyone know anything about it? The campus looks awesome and it's brand new. That would be awesome to learn arabic. I already speak quite a bit, as I'm Egyptian. Also, I'd like to know why the school is not listed in the ECFMG IMED directory?

The website is www.gmcajman.com - Please, anything you could tell me about the school would be most appreciated.

Thanks very much,
A

i am a student at Gulf medical college so i can tell u what u want to know abt it BUT can i know what exactly u want to know and more importantly WHY u want to know abt it? :?:
lastly although it sounds stupid but can u tell me if u are a med student and if so where u are studying?

Hi,
Well, I want to know about what it is like over there in Ajman. Is it modern over there? Are the students nice? Is the instruction in English? I am not a medical student. I am an undergrad in the USA.

I know of a person who wants to go there who is American (and half emirate). He looks totally American. Would he fit in there? Would the students give him a hard time?

Do you know if the professors are good over there?

Thanks a lot,
A

Hi! In response to your queries about GMC, Ajman:
I am a student of GMC.
1) The website www.gmcajman.com gives quite alot of info
2) The instruction is in English
3) There are students from all over the world, but the majority are Indian/Pakistani, there are Arabs and students from the MIddle East, as well as some from Egypt, Turkey, America, Australia, UK, Africa, etc.
4) As for your AMerican friend, I am confident that he will fit in well - in my class here at GMC itself there are 4 students from America, tho' of Indian/Pakistani origin. There is little or no ragging, and most of the students are quite friendly.
5) Majority of students are Muslim, but there are a few Hindus and Christians.
6) As in every college, there are good professors and not as good professors. I cannot name one really 'bad' teacher. They are willing to help the students and very open minded. There are a few, (actually only one comes to mind) who are too strict or rather, a bit 'narrow minded'.
7) I must warn you, however, that the college does not encourage too much, should I say, 'mingling between sexes.'
8) The college has extracurricular activities like drama, debates, sports = table tennis, tennis, basket ball and the annual 'GMC Sports Festival' where different colleges take part in the aforementioned sports.
There is much more about the college that I could tell you if you are interested, but I hope I have answered all your doubts, or you could check the site - given above.

Um... i think its really funny that the two GMC students who replied to this thread did not disclose all the major problems with our school.
First of all let me start by saying that I am American. I have spent __ years at GMC and like all western students who come to this college, i want to get the hell out.
The college in a word is a failure. I wanna say total failure but that exceeds the one word limit.
But honestly. The first year science courses were enjoyable. The teachers are competent although sometimes they're pretty petty (they get caught up on minor issues like what your wearing or how you sit, being American, im not used to being scolded by elderly people at my age). I feel there are still some major loopholes in my basic science education.But overall the teachers try hard and I respect them
But why I respect them is the main problem. THe administration is horrible!!! i have to "deal" with the administration over and over again. Let me tell you what the administration is comprimised of 1) President 2)Dean 3) Vice Dean . Thats it. These 3 people are responsible for all student affairs concerning GMC. But heres the worst part. The Dean and the Vice Dean are also teachers! Actually they're doctors and have NO ADMINISTRATIVE BACKGROUND. Which shows greatly when you try to work out a problem with them. Also, they are not very well spoken individuals. Every time I had to bring an issue up with them, they would try to talk around it, however, they dont have the ability to even do that so it makes them sound ridiculous. The dean sometimes refutes accusations even when there is blatant proof, its very sad. In the end, they simply make a promise to get you out of the office and then never deliver. The President has NO CLUE what is going on in school and seems surprised every time an issue (major issues! like missing cadavers!) is brought to his attention. Oh, and they have the tendency to blame each other. The vice dean will tell me to see the dean who will tell me to see the president who will have no clue what im talking about and then say he is underthe control of the sheikh which is equivalent to blaming it on god in the sense that you cant do anything about it. In the end, nothing really gets resolved until MONTHs after the complaint is filed.
Oh and theres so much more. The website is fake. That grass around the school, airbrushed in. Any pictures with races other than indian or pakistani, they have nothing to do with the school. The hostel picture;fake. The picture with the kids watching a video conference, look closely, those are KIDS, like 12 year olds, and that room does not even exist and you will never be taught by video conferencing.
Also, theres really no judicial system over here. So the school can basically do whatever it wants with you or your money and you have no way of getting back at them. They get so much money every year from the students yet none of the facilities are upgraded, the teachers arent paid, the hospitals in which you do your rotations are also no getting paid and kicking students out, our cafeteria shut down because they were not paid and it took 3 months to replace it. I mean is asking for toilet paper in the bathroom too much!?!?! I dont know where the money is goin, but what i do know is that the president and his family drive really nice cars.
Hmm, what else. Oh, the school follow NO CURRICULUM, that calender is bologna. The school does not have any case based learning or USMLE style exams. Ive asked the teachers many times what system of education they follow and NONE of them can answer.
Oh and arabs, in two words, materialistic and ignorant. I dont wanna generlize though, there are nice ones but they're still a simple crowd with not much perspective on life or the world. You will however find some westernized ones who can actually talk about things other than religion and wealth.
So after wasting two years of my life, the second year by the way is HORRIBLE with no enthusiasm on the teachers part and total lack of dedication from the students (which i cant blame them cuz the subject is dry and the teachers basically READ (yes actually turn around and read) from the projector). If i wanted stuff read to me, i would not pay 65000 dollars a year for it. THanx for nothing GMC.
Oh and Islam. I'm muslim and I think that Islam is totally incompatible with life, especially if you dont use common sense when applying it. This whole girls and guys being seperate thing, thats ridiculous. By second year most of the students ignore that rule and just do what they want. But some of the guys in our school havent been exposed to women ever! which really shows in their personality and their view of women as either a girlfriend, wife, or relative, the idea of just being friends with a girl seems foreign. Islam is a guide, its not supposed to go against the natural order. God created men and women to live in harmony, he created the quran to make sure guys keep there Richards in their pants, not so that men and women dont interact at all. Jeez, when will muslims learn.
Anyways, the schools not a good place to go. Students try to convince themselves that its okay, but in the end, its not. And even though i sometimes make myself ignorant to the fact that i'm being cheated out of an education, i get a reminder every time i come back to the US and see REAL med schools operate.
DO NOT GO TO GMC!!!

[DrR]

Well, as a GMCer myself, iam not sure if the newbie school requires so much hatred towards it. Yes, there were a lot of hiccups in the first 2-3 years of its life. There are very few medical schools, if any, tht dont hv initial hang-ups. Leaving aside the airbrushed website and the dry dating-scene, the academic education provided has lived up to its standards excellently. One example wud be, the first batch graduates passing all the attempted international postgraduate exams. All USMLE takers have passed in their first attempt, scoring in the 90's at that. Surely there isnt a single college without its fair share of grievance and annoyance issues. With all due respect, I think as doctors, its important that we tune our sense of observation to what is really significant. good luck.

[fuzpot]

Hey

im a uk student, when do classes start and when is the deadline for admissions? i emailed GMC, but no reply

[DrR]

hello fuzpot,
admissions have started from this month(dec) onwards. you may apply for admission online, however, if you find the response is delayed, i suggest you contact them directly via the telephone. seats are limited.
contact number is displayed on the website, i suppose. refer above posts. good luck.

[fuzpot]

thanks
but why does gmc ask for our passport number in their application form?

[DrR]

hi again,
sorry for the delay but thursday and friday is the weekend for us. I stopped by today in our admissions secition to raise ur query. Admissions will close by June2006 but may close earlier on account of all 60 seats being filled. I was informed that the passport number is for reference only in their admissions files and is not compulsory in the process of applying for admission. HOwever, you must supply with your marksheets of grades 10th, 11th and 12th. On reviewing the same the board committee shall call you for an interview after which you may go on to be eligible to write the entrance exam in which you have to attain 80% minumum. Its a long process but worth it, depending on your priorities. hope i hv answered all your Qs. Good luck.

Hello Shamma, I have a question.
I was looking at last year's catalog and saw all Thursday's Marked as SDL (Self Directed Learning I assume), is it mandatory or optional? How important is it? Don't tell me we have a One day Weekend??!?! :confused: .

[badshah]

Hi
GMC is giving me admission for september 2007. I would be highly grateful if someone can give me any details about this college. Thanks

[humbledoc]

This comes from a first-hand experience. It is indeed correct that there is a wide gap between what is touted on the website (and in brochures) and what is actually available at GMC Ajman.
The students are in a pitiable state where their education is concerned. The hospital attached to the college does not have enough clinical resources to support a medical course. The Government Hospitals in Dubai & Abu Dhabi - Iranian & Mafraq respectively - are not much help either. Students posted to these hospitals for clinical training are left to fend for trhemeselves - their clinical mentors do not provide even rudimentary clinical training. The reason for this is the failure of the management of GMC to pay them regularly and as agreed. The end-product can very well be imagined.
There is a serious deficiency in the Human Resources practices, and that is also contributing to the poor quality of training. Staff join and leave frequently - the teaching staf are also demotivated to the point of rebelliousness, and do not enjoy their jobs.
The conduct of the President, Dean & Vice-Dean is exactly as portrayed. The sole decision maker for ALL matters is the President - he has no academic credentials, and is in the financier who has invested in the venture. He treats this as a wholly owned business unit and is intolerant of advice. As a result, he is deproved of sound counsel in the running of the institution, and every faculty member and employee is reduced to servility.
Honesty in dealings is at a great premium, and subtefuge and deceit are ingrained. There is no grievance redressal system for the students. I would put up a HUGE red-alert to warn aspiring students who are keen on a medical career.

Hi, I am a student currently in grade 11 in Canada. I will be going to grade 12 this fall. I am planning to apply to Gulf Medical College and university of Sharjah, College of Medicine for year of 2009-2010. I have look at there web site and have knowledge of their admission requirements. But I was just wondering, can someone tell me, what if I haven't been able to get extremely good marks in grade 10 or 11 because of personal reasons. But I feel that I can make it there and to prove myself I do SAT I and II in (biology, and chemistry) or Advance Placement (AP). Will GMC or UOS (medical colleges) consider my SAT marks over high school marks?

Thanks

Gulf Medical College Ajman established with the Decree No. 1, dated 28 January, issued by His Highness Sheikh Humaid Bin Rashid Al-Nuaimi, the Ruler of Ajman and Member of the Supreme Council, U.A.E in the year 1998 has now attained the University Status following a Decree issued by the Minister For Higher Education & Scientific Research, His Excellency Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan on the 10th of July 2008.

True every new medical college goes through a moment of teething and some of the negative remarks posted by our earlier friends (badmistakes) are now a bygone era. The Gulf Medical College being recognized as a Medical University by the Ministry of Higher Education itself bears great testaments to its achievements. The University is headed by its Provost Prof. Gita Ashok Raj a renowned Medical Teacher and Administrator and each of the constituent colleges ie. Gulf Medical College, Gulf College of Health Sciences, Gulf Dental College and Gulf Pharmacy College are headed independently by respective Deans of the colleges.

The Gulf Medical University has been through a massive restructuring process and I can proudly say that the University is now one among the best medical institutions in the region. The University is proud the be among a handful institutions worldwide to implement the Integrated Curriculum and also launch the Doctorate in Pharmacy (Pharm. D) and Doctorate of Dental Medicine (D.M.D) programs.

The University today attracts students from over 44 countries around the world and receives over 2500 applications for its Medicine Program with only 60 seats. Thus one must understand that to reach this enviable position in this short span of a decade, its not an easy task.

The University is also well known for its innovative programs like the Summer Training Program, which places its students worldwide for clinical placements during summer holidays in reputed university hospitals across the Globe. The Health Communications division of the University has the credit of hosting over 150 conferences, workshops and educational events till date in association with leading Institutions like Harvard's, Mayo, Royal Australian College of G.P's etc...

The University's Training Hospital the GMC Hospital and Research Center in Ajman, today hosts a very advanced simulation center and has earned the reputation of becoming the country's largest Health Care Provider in the private sector.

Thus in short if you value Good Education in a reputed University then look no further. Also visit the new website at gmu.ac.ae to know more.

i live in the uae "now am in china " , i've never heard of it before , i always heard of the program in sharjah university & the dubai medical college for girls .... but never of GMC..

i don't know how much the tuition fee is exactly but i'm sure that for the same money u can go to a very reputable and recognized program in poland or somewhere else ....not that i know anything bad about the college , this is just my opinion ...
